The Simpson Heavy High Wind Uplift Purlin Hanger is an 8x10 heavy-duty top-flange hanger engineered by Simpson to deliver very high uplifts and down loads in demanding high-wind structural applications. Built to support joists on purlins or beams in both wood and cold-formed steel construction, this purlin hanger is a trusted choice for structural professionals who need reliable, high-capacity connections where enhanced uplift resistance is non-negotiable.

Key Features

• High Wind Uplift Engineering - Designed specifically for high-wind uplift structural applications, giving builders the confidence that critical connections will hold under severe lateral and vertical load demands.
• 3-Gauge Top Flange - Heavy-gauge construction at the top flange delivers the structural rigidity needed for heavy-load connections, reducing risk of deformation under very high down loads.
• 7-Gauge Stirrup - A robust stirrup gauge complements the top flange to provide balanced, heavy-duty performance throughout the full connection assembly.
• Dual Construction Compatibility - Approved for use in both wood and cold-formed steel construction, offering genuine design flexibility across a wide range of structural project types.
• Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish - Factory-applied finish provides surface protection suited to structural environments, helping maintain integrity in field conditions.

Why This Product

• Purpose-Built for High-Wind Regions - Unlike general-purpose hangers, this hanger is engineered from the ground up for high-wind uplift applications, making it a straightforward specification choice for projects in wind-critical zones.
• Heavy-Gauge Materials Throughout - The pairing of a 3-gauge top flange with a 7-gauge stirrup means the connection handles very high uplifts and down loads without compromise, reducing the need for supplemental reinforcement.
• Broad Application Approval - With approval for both wood and cold-formed steel construction, this single hanger model covers multiple framing scenarios, streamlining procurement and design coordination on mixed-material projects.
• Trusted Simpson Quality - Manufactured under the Simpson brand with a factory-applied gray paint finish, this purlin hanger meets the standards structural professionals rely on for heavy uplift and heavy-load connection applications.
